John· Scott, editor of the brilliant London Magazine,' had stated in its Prospectus that~ a great deal of excellent poetry was being written of which the public was little aware. Scott discerned in Keats a poet of genius, .and during the fourteen months, January 1820 to Ferbruary 1821, he conducted the maga- zine, Keats's last two volumes, Endymion and Lamia, were given lengthy and valuable consideration in its pages. Scott found much to disparage in K~ats's habits and verse, but, being a fair man, he advised him to l eschew "slovenly fop­ I i l l peries" and to develop more fully his "pride and strength" for J ~ ' "moral and social beauty." In the London he took to task the !-I ! ~ l } viciousness and inappropriateness of Tory criticism and time ' 't ....u and again pleaded for a fair hearing of Keats's poems. His distinctions are that he saw beyond Keats's youthful faults great poetical power, and he was obliged therefore to do everything he could to bring it to the public's attention. John Taylor, as Keats's publisher and close friend, generously and often advanced him needed money, encourage­ ment, his editorial services, and advice. He too wished Keats to receive his full measure of recognition. But besides the textual problems which naturally arose in the editor-poet - - --- ··.

This and Keats's proud disdain for the public's good opinion, thought Taylor, were the reasons for his poor reception. Shortly after Keats's death John Taylor bought The London Magazine but under his editorship it was never again to give Keats's work any substantial evaluation. He soon lost all interest in. his projected biography of the_ poet, and, indeed, ____ _ he seems to have lost all concern for the Keats's reputation.

Both men were important not only for their relationships to Keats but also in their own right. The first character has found no biographer, and yet it is his great distinction that he was Keats's earliest, most capable, and most consistent advocate. Amy Lowell in 1925 gives him only slight mention: his magnificent magazine, the London, gets one entry in her index. Dorothy Hewlett's study of Keats 35 years later gives him, his three reviews of Keats's poetry, and his many substantial comments on the same, a bit more notice. While he never knew Keats personally, John Scott, as a result of a duel which ended his battle with the hostile Blackwood's, was to die only four days after the poet C, in whose work he discerned greatness. The second character, John Taylor, has had a biographer, several articles, and great space in every major work on Keats. /\ His enduring friendship with Keats, his good efforts, vocal and financial, in support of the poet will ever be to his credito Be succeeded Scott as editor of the London, and in its pages he introduced such names as Da Quincey and T.

  • Fearless Therefore Powerful» Sociability and Emotions in Mary Shelley’S Frankenstein
    «FEARLESS THEREFORE POWERFUL» SOCIABILITY AND EMOTIONS IN MARY SHELLEY’S FRANKENSTEIN Cristina Paoletti Università di Bologna, Dipartimento di Filosofia, [email protected] Abstract. «Fearless therefore Powerful». Sociability and Emotions in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein This paper analyses the role played by fear as the motive of both Victor Frankenstein and his monster’s behaviour. Moving from the natural horror the monster excites, fear is mostly considered by Mary Shelley as a normal reaction, and its absence marks pathological circumstances, such as cruelty or unsympathetic and antisocial feelings. Referring to the philosophical debate on moral sympathy and to the scientific discussion on Erasmus Darwin’s account of animal instincts, Shelley also provided remarkable criticis Keywords: Enlightenment, Emotions, English Literature, Seventeenth Century. So should young SYMPATHY, in female form, Climb the tall rock, spectatress of the storm; Life's sinking wrecks with secret sighs deplore, And bleed for others' woes, Herself on shore; To friendless Virtue, gasping on the strand, Governare la paura – 2008, giugno Cristina Paoletti Bare her warm heart, her virgin arms expand1. An essay on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein might perhaps appear an obvious choice when dealing with fear and its literary and artistic representations. Victor Frankenstein’s odd and shocking story was firstly received with dismay and disappointment and an early reviewer explained the terror produced by the novel with the folly of the author. The [author’s] dreams of insanity are embodied in the strong and striking language of the insane, and the author, notwithstanding the rationality of his preface, often leaves us in doubt whether he is not as mad as his hero.

SELECT LETTERS OF PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY EDITED WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY RICHARD GARNETT NEW YORK D.APPLETON AND COMPANY X, 3, AND 5 BOND STREET MDCCCLXXXIII INTRODUCTION T he publication of a book in the series of which this little volume forms part, implies a claim on its behalf to a perfe&ion of form, as well as an attradiveness of subjeâ:, entitling it to the rank of a recognised English classic. This pretensión can rarely be advanced in favour of familiar letters, written in haste for the information or entertain­ ment of private friends. Such letters are frequently among the most delightful of literary compositions, but the stamp of absolute literary perfe&ion is rarely impressed upon them. The exceptions to this rule, in English literature at least, occur principally in the epistolary litera­ ture of the eighteenth century. Pope and Gray, artificial in their poetry, were not less artificial in genius to Cowper and Gray ; but would their un- their correspondence ; but while in the former premeditated utterances, from a literary point of department of composition they strove to display view, compare with the artifice of their prede­ their art, in the latter their no less successful cessors? The answer is not doubtful. Byron, endeavour was to conceal it. Together with Scott, and Kcats are excellent letter-writers, but Cowper and Walpole, they achieved the feat of their letters are far from possessing the classical imparting a literary value to ordinary topics by impress which they communicated to their poetry.

  • John Keats 1 John Keats
    John Keats 1 John Keats John Keats Portrait of John Keats by William Hilton. National Portrait Gallery, London Born 31 October 1795 Moorgate, London, England Died 23 February 1821 (aged 25) Rome, Italy Occupation Poet Alma mater King's College London Literary movement Romanticism John Keats (/ˈkiːts/; 31 October 1795 – 23 February 1821) was an English Romantic poet. He was one of the main figures of the second generation of Romantic poets along with Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley, despite his work only having been in publication for four years before his death.[1] Although his poems were not generally well received by critics during his life, his reputation grew after his death, so that by the end of the 19th century he had become one of the most beloved of all English poets. He had a significant influence on a diverse range of poets and writers. Jorge Luis Borges stated that his first encounter with Keats was the most significant literary experience of his life.[2] The poetry of Keats is characterised by sensual imagery, most notably in the series of odes. Today his poems and letters are some of the most popular and most analysed in English literature. Biography Early life John Keats was born in Moorgate, London, on 31 October 1795, to Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats. There is no clear evidence of his exact birthplace.[3] Although Keats and his family seem to have marked his birthday on 29 October, baptism records give the date as the 31st.[4] He was the eldest of four surviving children; his younger siblings were George (1797–1841), Thomas (1799–1818), and Frances Mary "Fanny" (1803–1889) who eventually married Spanish author Valentín Llanos Gutiérrez.[5] Another son was lost in infancy.

STUTZ 2009 Christians, Critics, and Romantics: Aesthetic Discourse among Anglo-American Evangelicals, 1830-1900 Chad P. Stutz Professor Judith Wilt, advisor ABSTRACT Though contemporary evangelical Protestants have shown an increased interest in the fine arts, scholars have often seen the aesthetic history of Anglo-American evangelicalism as one marked by hostility and indifference. In contrast to this view, this study argues that the history of evangelicalism’s intellectual engagement with the fine arts has been complex and varied. Throughout much of the nineteenth century, evangelicals writing in a variety of denominational periodicals carried on a robust inquiry into aesthetics. This study traces the rise of this discourse among Anglo-American evangelicals and maps some of the main features of the evangelical theoretical landscape between 1830 and 1900 – a high point of evangelical critical activity. Christians, Critics, and Romantics describes how evangelicalism’s contact with Enlightenment thought initiated a break with the Puritan aesthetic tradition that contributed to the growth of a modern aesthetic consciousness among some eighteenth-century evangelicals.
